    It’s class. Unfortunately the sponsors have demanded their logos be in black so they’re still visible. Otherwise it’s Santos 1958 levels.

    What is unacceptable is this sock nonsense. Wear a size up instead of cutting all of these holes out.

    Isn’t it because it’s supposedly helps you not cramp up? Even though the theory was pretty much debunked but they still do it anyway.

    Gakpo in midfield is always a bad sign, as is Macca in the pivot against a press.

    Havertz is a disgrace. But so is all of them bar Saliba, so toothless and mediocre.

    I've said a lot of bad stuff about Gomez but don't get it twisted, the man is a monster, especially against shite like Saka.

    Yeah Mac I can cope with in there. Gakpo proves he isn't a midfielder every time he's on screen. Gravenberch on ASAP please.

    See this is much better. We may yet lose, but going down fighting like this is much preferable. I've no idea who is playing where but fuck it, carry on.

    If it's still 0-0 at the end someone needs to do the honourable thing and chuck one in their own net to avoid the replay.

    Liverpool beating Chelsea on penalties in both cup finals is still on.

    God help us.

    Liverpools only defeat being with 9 men at spurs is beyond mental. Klopp is an absolute genius. Team spirit really is something else.

    Embarrassing performance from the home side. Konate, Ali, Gomez, Bradley, Jones, Jota, what a fucking genius that nazi cunt is.

    Edit: Waff earning the don in his name

    It really is true though, there's no overcomplicated tactical masterclass here, it's more about bravery, heart, work-rate, all down to that cunt.

    Granted Arsenal let them off but still.

    Wouldn’t surprise me if they lose the league on draws again. Don’t think there’s a world where Man City don’t win it as they’re still due their 10 game winning streak which will put it beyond doubt

    It's clear Arsenal really need a top class striker but I don't think Arteta managed that game well. It was inevitable at half time that Liverpool would win.

    If you can't see what Nunez brings, look at that Arsenal attack. They'd sell their stadium for a player like Nunez.

    He's very similar in what he offers to Nicolas Jackson, i.e. a chaotic hype man with little footballing merit.

    I’ve never seen someone get as much stick as Jackson does. You’d think he went for a Hojlund or Nunez type fee.

    Gotta be the colour of his skin.

    In other news, Mazzocchi was subbed in at half time for his debut at Napoli (his boyhood club) only to get sent off 4 minutes later for this challenge:

    Not the best challenge.

    Still made to appear worse by the freeze frame. In trying to pull out of it he's made it worse.

    On the power of the freeze frame, I was wondering yesterday, had Kiwior flicked that ball over the bar rather than into his own goal would there have been any case for it being a penalty seeing as Ramsdale absolutely obliterated whoever it was that was in front of him or are 'keepers just allowed to do that?

    Probably would have been waved away via the unwritten 'ball's going out anyway' rule, or to put it perhaps more broadly, the 'it's not a penalty in any unusual or unexpected sequence of events that aren't exactly what the referee expects to happen three seconds earlier' rule.
